Early Scarlet Globe Radish 



SUPER-STANDARD 



Days to maturity, 25. The natural color photograph on this page is representative of our Super-Standard 

 strain of Early Scarlet Globe Radish. It is true that Radish seed is an item that is sometimes offered at a remarkably 

 low figure, and to the price-minded buyer we would point out that the stock offered herewith is costing us three 



times more than we 

 would have to pay for 

 ordinary seed. Our stock 

 has been developed by 

 long, tedious work on 

 the part of our grower. 

 The experienced Radish- 

 grower who really knows 

 stocks will go a long way 

 to secure a more perfect 

 strain than this one. As a 

 greenhouse forcing type, 

 or as a field type, we be- 

 lieve it is without a peer 

 and we willingly challenge 

 comparison with any others. 



Our stock will be found 

 uniformly true to the globe 

 shape and of a rich, scarlet 

 color. This type of Radish 

 has proved to be more valu- 

 able on the market than 

 the round type. The average 

 size of the root at maturity 

 is by % inches. The 



top is remarkably small, 

 ich is a necessary feature 

 for bunching. It will grow 

 quickly and evenly, matur- 

 ing in just over three weeks 

 under normal conditions.

Radish Notes 



An application of salt to 

 a field infested with maggots 

 give almost complete 

 control against them. With 

 this, we recommend the 

 usual crop rotation. During 

 some seasons aphis are par- 

 ticularly bad in radish, 

 we recommend early planting to 

 A dressing of nitrate of soda will 

 greatly stimulate growth and insure tender, brittle roots. 

 Cur radish seed is chemically treated to eliminate sur- 

 face-borne disease. This greatly stimulates germination 

 and subsequent growth. 



T r\ncS ^r»iavlof Days to maturity, 30. The 

 i-iOng OCaiiei. bright scarlet root will attain 

 a length of from 5 to 6 inches, having a diameter of 1 

 inch. The flesh is crisp and tender. Care must be 

 taken not to allow this variety to remain too long 

 after attaining its full growth. 



(1885.) Days to ma- 

 _ turity, 40. Introduced 

 in the United States by Johnson & Stokes in 1885. A 

 large summer Radish desirable for late planting. The 

 maximum size of root before becoming pithy is about 

 5 inches in length and 1}^ inches in diameter. One- 

 fifth of the root usually grows above the ground. 



pL. or SHEPHERD. Days to maturity, 



V^narilCl, 45. A summer Radish, dull pink for 

 two-thirds of its length, shading to a pure white at the 

 tip. Average length 5 inches. It is not recommended 

 for spring planting. 



Generally speaking, 

 escape aphis trouble. 



Philadelphia White Box (1888) 



Days to maturity, 35. This variety was introduced 

 by Johnson & Stokes in 1888. This superb, ivory- 

 white strain is probably the best of the round, white 

 class. We have spared no pains in developing the stock 

 which would meet the critical requirements of the large 

 field-Radish men. Owing to prohibition and the passing 

 of the free-lunch counter, we do not recommend as large 

 plantings as formerly, but there is still a place for it. 



Days to maturity, 30. The 

 root will attain a length of 

 about 5}y'2 inches, tapering regularly from near the 

 shoulder to the tip, holding this thickness for nearly 

 its entire length, the thickest part being about 1 inch 

 from the top. It will hold a week to ten days before 

 becoming pithy. The color is a pure transparent white. 



Days to maturity, 

 28. This is grown 



very extensively commercially, especially for the mid- 

 West markets. The color is a very deep scarlet, with a 

 distinct white tip covering about one-third of the 

 lower diameter of the root. Its shape is nearly round, 

 slightly flattened on the under side.
